A Muso's Top 10: Yeasayer
Given the eclecticism of All Hour Cymbals, it was no surprise that Yeasayer gave us a top ten covering five decades, three continents, million-selling mega-hits, out-of-print odd-jobs, and multiple styles and fashions. It's a myriad list that defies obvious logic; just how we like it.
